Plant name resources: building bridges with users.
Plant names are the key to communicating and managing information about plants. This paper considers how providers of high quality technical plant name information can better meet the requirements non-botanical audiences who also rely on plant names for elements of their work.

Identifying Novel Features from Specimen Data for the Prediction of Valuable Collection Trips.
Primary biodiversity data provide “what, where, and when” data points: the assertion that a species occurred at a particular point in space and time. These are most valuable when associated with specimens stored in natural history museums and herbaria, which evidence the assertions with reference to a physical specimen. The...Nicolson, Nicky ; Tucker, Allan

Abstract
Engaging Children with Herbarium Specimens at Royal Botanic Gardens Kew’s Science Festival.
The Kew and Wakehurst Science Festivals consists of five days of activities over two weekends. Workshops and tours allow visitors to engage with the scientists and their research. We designed an interactive experience, so children could understand what a herbarium sheet is and the process of making one. The Herbarium...Bavington, Melissa

Evolution and functional ecology of the embryo to seed size ratio.
Continuous variation exists in the ratio of embryo to nutritive tissues of Angiosperms. Embryo to seed size ratio ranges from seeds dispersed with an embryo consisting of a clump of cells embedded in copious endosperm, e.g. several Ranunculaceae, to seeds containing only an embryo and no nutritive tissue, e.g. many...Vandelook, Filip ; Dickie, John B. ; Carta, Angelino

Abstract
Progress in Authority Management of People Names for Collections.
The concept of building a network of relationships between entities, a knowledge graph, is one of the most effective methods to understand the relations between data. By organizing data, we facilitate the discovery of complex patterns not otherwise evident in the raw data. Each datum at the nodes of a...Groom, Quentin ; Besombes, Chloé ; Brown, Josh ; Chagnoux, Simon ; Georgiev, Teodor …

Abstract
Examining Herbarium Specimen Citation: Developing a literature-based institutional impact measure.
Herbarium specimens are critical components of the research process - providing "what, where, when" evidence for species distributions and through type designation, providing the basis for un-ambiguous, standardised nomenclature facilitating the interpretation of scientific names. Specimen references are embedded within research article texts, by convention usually presented in a relatively...Nicolson, Nicky ; Paton, Alan ; Phillips, Sarah ; Tucker, Allan

Cryobiotechnology for the long-term preservation of oak (Quercus sp.) genetic resources.
Oaks (genus Quercus) are dominant and iconic trees in most European, American, Asian and North African forests, from cool temperate to tropical environments. There are at least 600 species of Quercus globally with high ecological and economical importance. However, 45% of the species evaluated by IUCN are considered threatened, being...Ballesteros, D. ; Nebot, A. ; Pritchard, H.

Challenges of Integrating and Curating Nomenclatural and Taxonomic Data in the World Checklist of Vascular Plants.
The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) is the Royal Botanic Gardens (RBG) Kew’s global names and taxonomy output. The underlying data sources, the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (WCSP), and the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families – in Review (WCSP –...Turner, Robert ; Govaerts, Rafaël

Abstract
Integrating Collector and Author Roles Across Specimen and Publication Datasets.
This work builds on the outputs of a collector data-mining exercise applied to GBIF mobilised herbarium specimen metadata, which uses unsupervised learning (clustering) to identify collectors from minimal metadata associated with field collected specimens (the DarwinCore terms , and ). Here, we outline methods to integrate these data-mined collector entities...Nicolson, Nicky ; Paton, Alan ; Phillips, Sarah ; Tucker, Allan
